JON Newby’s days at Gigg Lane could still be numbered despite his recent decision to reject a move to Oldham.

JON Newby’s days at Gigg Lane could still be numbered despite his recent decision to reject a move to Oldham.

Luton boss Joe Kinnear confirmed that he had watched the former Liverpool striker on four occasions.

But Kinnear insisted the fee he was prepared to pay was nowhere near £1m.

However, such is the Shakers financial plight they would accept far less for their most saleable asset.

‘‘Do we allow Bury to close down or do we sell a player?’’ says manager Andy Preece.

And the way Bury are racking up bookings at an alarming rate then any money will go towards settling their FA disciplinary bill.

They are under threat of a £25,000 fine suspended from last season, and have already been hit with a £5,000 penalty following the 5-1 defeat at Brentford.

Angry Preece locked his players in the dressing room for over an hour to deliver his message of displeasure.

In truth, the performance probably didn’t merit such a lecture. Bury were more than a match for their hosts and should have come away with at least a draw. But they switched off in the 63rd minute and allowed Vale to score through on loan Chris Killen.
